Una familia de Colombia
  • The country is heavily militarised as a result of the establishment of the Colombia Plan, and all peaceful ways to resolve the armed conflict have been abandoned. Consequences: Systematic violation of human rights. Thousands of civilians murdered and persecuted. Disappearance of civil organizations.
     
  • With the help of the State, transnational enterprises and multilateral organisations exploit the natural resources and undertake infrastructure megaprojects.
    Consequences: Massive ejections of populations from their territory. Destruction of the social network.
     
  • Food and pharmaceutical transnational enterprises exhaust the natural resources and take advantage of the enormous biodiversity of the country.
    Consequences: Loss of food sovereignty, destruction of the ecosystem and the cultural identity of minority populations such as the indigenous communities and Afrocolombians.
     
  •  Fall in the prices of coffee across the world.
    Consequences: Increase of unemployment (higher than 25 %) and precariousness of the existing employment, with a great rise of the hidden economy.
